external envelope Thermix does the rounds
A more interesting edge on things? Rounded edges are gaining increasing popularity in modern architecture. At the new location of Ensinger Sintimid in Austria, this look was used to create a special ambience in the entrance area: By creating a quarter turn, the glazed facade entices guests into the building, which sports a white and silver grey theme in keeping with the global company’s corporate design colours. The curved facade elements were produced by Wenna Glass in Linz. Every pane measuring 2,126 mm in length and between 845 and 1,940 mm in height was precisely curved to the required radius of 2,635 mm using a special hot bending technique. But there was a question mark over the process from the start. How to further process the Thermix brand warm edge spacers specified by the client to fit the triple insulating glass? Ensinger itself came up with some expert advice. After all, the German sister company has been producing and further developing Thermix since 1994. “We checked this using a simple bending process”, explains Application Engineering Specialist Heinz Raunest. “It’s actually sufficient to use a good manual roll former. With a few minor adjustments the plastic profiles can be precisely adapted to the required radius without any folds. The material with its integrated stabilizing wires stays reliably in shape.”
